Pet care experience

Caring, attentive, and ready

I have had pet cats and dogs for most of my life, have been focused on taking care of them as soon as I became 12. I have had cats, dogs, fish, all with varying health conditions. I know how to feed a pet pills, when to, how to keep a schedule for them, to care for them with love, spend time with them, and just to be around to help them. My Chocolate Labrador I had suffered from an enlarged esophagus, she had to eat in a specific way or she wouldn't keep down her food. She lived long and happy, even though most vets said to put her down when she was a puppy. I do not give up on a pet that wants to live, and will work happily to care and recuperate it.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have driven my cat from veterinarians office to my home on several occasions, including my dog, and always drive easy and comfortable so that my pets won't get worried on the trip, or get tossed around. I even go on test drives for my cat so he gets comfortable in a moving car and doesn't worry about where he is going. I treat my pets with care, love and respect, and I treat my job entirely important and work as if I was working for myself. I will follow any and every rule you set for your pet, and treat them as my own. If you need me to drive them, walk them, care for them with medicine, their is nothing I won't be able to do for you and your pet.

Schedule

My current pet, a Russian Blue cat, has a problem with his thyroid, where he has to be given a pill every dinner and breakfast. I am able to sneak the pill easily into his food so he can eat it easily. I keep a tight schedule in feeding him that doesn't intrude on my other work or chores.
